Background

About David Gardiner

I am currently a masters student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, expected to graduate in 2025. I completed my undergraduate education at RPI in 2024, receiving a bachelors in Industrial and Management Engineering. On campus, I currently serve as President of the RPI IISE (Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers) chapter, work as an admissions ambassador, and work on the Facilities and Services Committee for the RPI Union. I have also previously served as President of Alpha Pi Mu. I recently completed an eight-month co-op at Bose Corporation, where I worked within the Central Operations team for Global Supply Chain Management. At Bose, I was responsible for data system stewardship, process performance improvement, master data management within SAP ECC, and weekly report creation and dispatch for various business units. As part of my Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification, I led a project team in creating and implementing a master data exception dashboard within the Kinaxis Rapid/Response supply planning system. This project enabled faster and more accurate data validation, improved data quality, and reduced manual work. I am passionate about applying my knowledge and analytical skills to optimize business operations and deliver value to customers. I am eager to learn from and collaborate with other professionals in the field and contribute to the organization's goals and vision.
